PM WANI (Prime Minister WiFi Access Network Interface) Scheme

Recently, in a bid to fuel broadband internet proliferation across the country, the Government of India launched PM WANI (Prime Minister Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) Scheme under the nodal agency of Department of Telecom (DoT), Ministry of Communications.

• The objective is to provide public Wi-Fi service through Public Data Offices (PDOs) spread across the length and breadth of the country just like what PCOs (Public Call Offices) did for telephone spread in India.
